Former Shreveport Fire Chief Craig Mulford has reached an agreement with the city where he has been reinstated with back pay and then has immediately resigned.

According to a report by KTBS, Mulford, who eventually was cleared of the charges, will receive back pay of approximately $12,000 per month plus additional retirement benefits.

The Municipal Fire and Police Civil Service Board on Wednesday reinstated Mulford, who was fired three years ago after being accused of impeding a police investigation into the mistreatment of two mentally challenged men who were regular visitors at a fire station.

Charges were also dismissed against Tommy Carpenter, an assistant fire chief accused of lying to the grand jury investigating the Station 8 case.
